How do I get her to wear her hat?

I have just bought DD a new hat with a chin strap thinking it would stop her from taking off her hat but noooo she can still take it off and It usually only stays on for about 10 seconds.

Any advice!?

Lots of "practice" and praise!  We are having the same thing with Tom but he will now keep iton for about 5 min.  I also placed him in front of the mirror and put his hat on and made a huge fuss.  he thought that was cool and tries to get it on himself.  He is definately getting better..we are just being persistant.

We are lucky as my boy has always worn his hat....but I think it is because we both wear a hat too, so he is like us, might help?

With Spencer I just keep putting it back on until he gives up and leaves it on. Now he only pulls it off a couple of times and then he leaves it on.
I also found it helps to stick the hat on and then quickly distract them with something else so they forget about it.

Is so funny when he plays with my friends toddler if he takes it off her son puts it back on his head for me Although as he is only 17 months as well sometimes it is more on his face than on his head.

I only insist when I really, really have to. And all other times I try to promote the hat as a fashion accessory

We did "hat training" in the swing - no hat= no swing.

It seemed to work - she is really good now, and gets her hat herself when she wants to go outside.

She seems to prefer one hat over another, so it might be a matter of finding one she likes to wear - but persistence seems to be the key to getting them to wear hats.

I did manage to get Megan to keep her hat on for about 20 minutes while we are the lake..she did keep trying to take it off but I said no you have to keep it on and when she didnt try to pull it off I would say "good girl for keeping your hat on"

Initially we would just distract Jack as soon as his hat went on and he would forget about it for long periods of time. That was with his bucket hat with chin strap. He has a cap now and he never seems to take it off, not sure if it is the cap style that he prefers or if he has 'grown out' of the stage of taking his hat off

All my friends I think experienced this around this age....It gets better but it is lots of perserverance and praise....
Now because they understand much better..Blake knows he cant go outside without the hat on....
